Could I connect user's session bus from root?

[danny]

Hi All,

I test, but unfortunately it failed.

Below is my test program,  I thought the g_volume_monitor_get() need user's info, was it wrong?

Normally while I run "./test" , it will monitor the removable device and show the drive's name while some devices such as USB type connected or disconnected.

But when run it as root, it will show nothing.

/*
*   gcc -o test test.c `pkg-config --libs --cflags gtk+-2.0`
*   Usage:  ./test
*
*/

#include <gio/gio.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>

static void print_drive_info(GDrive *drive)
{
    gchar *name;

    name = g_drive_get_name(drive);
  
    g_print("\tname: %s\n",
        name ? name : "(null)");

    g_free(name);
}

static void on_drive_changed(GVolumeMonitor *volume_monitor, GDrive *drive)
{
    g_print("Drive changed:\n");
    print_drive_info(drive);
}

static void on_drive_connected(GVolumeMonitor *volume_monitor, GDrive *drive)
{
    g_print("Drive connected:\n");
    print_drive_info(drive);
}

static void on_drive_disconnected(GVolumeMonitor *volume_monitor, GDrive *drive)
{
    g_print("Drive disconnected:\n");
    print_drive_info(drive);
}

static void on_refresh_clicked(GtkButton *button, Context ctx)
{
    refresh_drive_list(ctx);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    GVolumeMonitor *monitor;

    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    /*Just for test , I set the uid euid directly to 500 which is my own user id */
    int old_uid = getuid();
    int old_euid = geteuid();
    printf("uid is %d \n euid is %d \n",getuid(), geteuid() );
    if (setuid(500) == -1)
    //if (seteuid(500) == -1)
    {
    printf ("seteuid : %s \n", strerror(errno));
    return -1;
    }
    printf("uid is %d \n euid is %d \n",getuid(), geteuid() );

    monitor = g_volume_monitor_get();   //the main entry I get information
    g_signal_connect(monitor, "drive-changed", G_CALLBACK(on_drive_changed), NULL);
    g_signal_connect(monitor, "drive-connected", G_CALLBACK(on_drive_connected), NULL);
    g_signal_connect(monitor, "drive-disconnected", G_CALLBACK(on_drive_disconnected), NULL);
 
    gtk_main();

    return 0;
}
